SEC Hosts Roundtable to Shape Crypto Regulations
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is taking significant steps toward establishing comprehensive cryptocurrency regulations, following directives from President Donald Trump. The SEC’s Crypto Task Force has announced its second roundtable meeting, scheduled for April 11, aimed at creating safer trading practices and enhancing national financial security. Notable panelists include Gregory Tusar from Coinbase and Katherine Minarik from Uniswap Labs, who will contribute to the discussions on regulatory frameworks.
Roundtable Focus: Tailoring Crypto Regulations
The upcoming roundtable, titled “Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading,” will feature nine panelists from various sectors, including representatives from the Healthy Markets Association, New York Stock Exchange, and FalconX. Richard Gabbert, Chief of Staff of the Crypto Task Force, will open the session, which will also include participation from Mark Uyeda, the acting SEC chairman appointed by Trump. This meeting is part of a broader initiative to gather insights from industry leaders and the public to inform the SEC’s regulatory approach.
Scheduled to take place at the SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C., the event will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will be accessible to the public both in-person and via a live webcast on the SEC’s website. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, as doors will open at noon. Following the discussions, participants will have the opportunity to submit their suggestions either in person or through email, which will be reviewed by the Task Force as they draft the initial set of U.S. crypto regulations.
Public Engagement and Feedback
Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, who leads the Crypto Task Force, emphasized the importance of public input in shaping effective regulations. “Hearing the public’s concerns and suggestions helps the SEC create a clear, sensible, and fair path forward for the crypto industry,” Peirce stated. This roundtable is seen as a crucial step toward achieving regulatory clarity that benefits the American public.
In March, President Trump directed the Crypto Task Force to finalize the regulations by August, giving the committee a tight timeline of approximately four months. To facilitate this process, the SEC is hosting a series of roundtables to engage with crypto community leaders and the general public. The first session, held on March 21, concluded that stablecoins should not be classified as securities, marking a significant development in the regulatory landscape.
Pro-Crypto Initiatives Under Trump’s Administration
The U.S. is actively pursuing a pro-crypto agenda under President Trump’s leadership. Recently, the President signed an executive order to establish a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies, signaling a commitment to integrating digital assets into the national financial framework. Additionally, a summit was held at the White House, where industry leaders met with lawmakers and regulators to discuss the future of cryptocurrency in the U.S.
